The proto-neutron star inner crust in a multi-component plasma approach
H. Dinh Thi, A. F. Fantina, F. Gulminelli
Proto-neutron stars (PNS) are born hot, with temperatures exceeding a few times K. In these conditions, the PNS crust is expected to be made of a Coulomb liquid composed…
Detectability of a phase transition in neutron star matter with third-generation gravitational wave interferometers
C. Mondal, M. Antonelli, F. Gulminelli +3
Possible strong first-order hadron-quark phase transitions in neutron star interiors leave an imprint on gravitational waves, which could be detected with planned third-generation…
The proto-neutron star inner crust in the liquid phase
H. Dinh Thi, A. F. Fantina, F. Gulminelli
The crust of a neutron star is known to melt at a temperature that increases with increasing matter density, up to about K. At such high temperatures and beyond, the crus…
Properties of pasta phases in catalyzed neutron stars
H. Dinh Thi, A. F. Fantina, F. Gulminelli
Exotic non-spherical configurations of nuclei, known as ``pasta" phases, are expected to be present at the bottom of the inner crust of a neutron star. We study the properties of t…
A Bayesian analysis of the properties of hybrid stars with the NJL model
Antoine Pfaff, Hubert Hansen, Francesca Gulminelli
We implement a Bayesian analysis of the properties of non-rotating hybrid stars at equilibrium with quark matter cores, as described by the SU(3) Nambu--Jona-Lasinio (NJL) model. T…
The effect of the energy functional on the pasta-phase properties of catalysed neutron stars
H. Dinh Thi, A. F. Fantina, F. Gulminelli
Nuclear pasta, that is an inhomogeneous distribution of nuclear matter characterised by non-spherical clustered structures, is expected to occur in a narrow spatial region at the b…
The equation of state of neutron stars and the role of nuclear experiments
F. Gulminelli, A. F. Fantina
Neutron stars are unique laboratories to probe matter in extreme conditions, not accessible in terrestrial laboratories. Here, we discuss the modelling of the neutron-star equation…
The nuclear matter density functional under the nucleonic hypothesis
Hoa Dinh Thi, Chiranjib Mondal, Francesca Gulminelli
A Bayesian analysis of the possible behaviors of the dense matter equation of state informed through recent LIGO-Virgo as well as NICER measurements reveals that all the present ob…
Inner crust of a neutron star at crystallization in a multi-component approach
T. Carreau, A. F. Fantina, F. Gulminelli
The possible presence of amorphous and heterogeneous phases in the inner crust of a neutron star is expected to reduce the electrical conductivity of the crust, with potentially im…
Crystallization of the outer crust of a non-accreting neutron star
A. F. Fantina, S. De Ridder, N. Chamel +1
The interior of a neutron star (NS) is usually assumed to be made of cold catalyzed matter. However, the outer layers are unlikely to remain in full equilibrium during the formatio…
Impact of electron capture rates on nuclei far from stability on core-collapse supernovae
Aurélien Pascal, Simon Giraud, Anthea Fantina +4
The impact of electron-capture (EC) cross sections on neutron-rich nuclei on the dynamics of core-collapse during infall and early post-bounce is studied performing spherically sym…
